No. Making use of ads to support your creation is much different than being paid to work on ad technology itself.

- Jyaif 6y agoAd technology is what enables products like Photopea to exist in the first place.
- ohgodplsno 6y agoPeople were making things before advertisers tried to pretend nothing else could exist without them, and will continue to do so long after advertisers are gone.
- katzgrau 6y ago> long after advertisers are gone May have sounded nice, but successful creators eventually become advertisers. As long as they have money to spend on marketing, they'll spend it to get in front of the right people
- yarcob 6y agoPhotopea could just as well be monetized by selling licenses or by non-intrusive unpersonalized ads. When you have a great product making money from it isn't hard. I think that 90% of ad tech is useless shit technology that just exists to take a cut of the money, without actually providing much of a value to anyone. It's like realtors or financial advisors or other middlemen like that. The main reason for them being there is that it's a very profitable business to get a cut of somebody else's transactions.
- ruined 6y agoad technology admittedly provides a possibility for monetization, which can justify something to an accountant, but it is completely perpendicular to use-value and technical feasibility. it does not "enable" anything to exist.
